How do you end load a softball bat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. Carefully remove the end cap of the bat with a flat head screw driver.
  2. Flip the end cap upside down on a flat surface.
  3. Pour 1 oz of pourable polyurethane into the end cap and let it dry overnight.
  4. Place a small amount of epoxy around the edge of the end cap and press it back into the end of the bat.
  5. Let the bat sit overnight (again) with the end cap on the ground to ensure the polyurethane settles completely inside the bat.

Note: End loading is illegal in all association softball and should only be used for exhibition or practice. End loading extends the sweet spot and can increase the the exit speed of the ball.

What are the dimensions of a cricket pitch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The full length of a cricket pitch, that is from one set of stumps to another, is 20.12 meters, or 22 yards. However, most pitches have an additional metre or so of additional turf wicket preceding the bowling crease (a minimum distance of 122 cm), which increases the total length to somewhere close to 22.5 metres.

The full breadth of a cricket pitch is 305 centimetres, or 3 yards 12 inches, however the popping crease extends further from the turf part of the wicket by an additional two feet, or 0.61 metres.

What is the short fielder position?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In slow pitch softball there are often 10 players on the field instead of the traditional 9. The 10th player is that short fielder, sometimes called a "rover", who plays in the outfield, usually at a shallow depth between the outfielders and infield.

Most teams will shift the short fielder from right to left, depending on the batter. Generally speaking, right handed batters hit more balls to the left side of the field, so the short fielder moves more to that side, and vice versa for left handed batters.

What is the difference between a softball mitt and a baseball mitt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Construction is basically the same - softball gloves are just larger than baseball gloves due to fact that softballs are bigger. Softball gloves tend to be 13" and bigger, and baseball gloves are less than 13".

If you play both softball and baseball and want to stick with just one glove, then buy a softball glove.

***********************

From The Coach

That's right - Construction and leather are the same (for respective models).

But Slowpitch have bigger pockets to accommodate 12" softballs are are typically designed for men's larger hands and fingers.

For Girls/Women's Fastpitch Softball Gloves, good gloves have slender fingerstalls to accommodate smaller finger and palms of girls and women. And they come in 11" to 13.5" sizes.
